I recently purchased new motherboard, RAM and Processor. What I want to ask is that is it possible to run my computer as normal without installing my Windows XP SP2.
If yes then what drivers do I need to install or unstall?

A clean installation of Windows is always recommended to users who replaces there motherboard (especially). Other than that you can remove your chipset drivers (motherboard), sound, video and network.
If the motherboard has the same chipset, you may well be able to install your new motherboard without any changes. If you are lucky enough.
You just need to delete the ENUM key via REGEDIT and it works quite well. Saves a lot of time when compared to reformatting and reinstalling Windows.
I formatted my hard disk two months ago and reinstalled Windows, so I did not want to do so again.
And no need for video card drivers, I had not changed the graphics card.
If you have an OEM version then it will not work otherwise you just need to re-activate the Windows.
